"I agree."

Alex made this decision because he liked the conditions.

"Good. You should be able to operate the array anyway, and it will only take a week for one go. Since my wife and I will go at the same time, you should be able to finish within a week and enjoy the reward." Choon Duy nodded with a smile.

Alex felt something odd and uttered his confusion. "In that case, are you going to teach the array master how to do it?"

"No. They are going to replicate your technique. Before going to use this, I will explain everything in the note so the current Patriarch can prepare it, including the Array Masters from the family. They will watch how you do it. Everyone who can do it can test it on themselves.

"After all, if they were born from the family, they should have the same problem. As for the ones who aren't, they can test their technique with the family members. It will be my matter after that, so you don't need to worry."

"Alright. I can do it. To exchange that week and one-month cultivation for one star… It's indeed worthwhile." Alex nodded in agreement.

"Good! Now I will explain about the test. It's simple. You just need to beat me in one on one or just make me recognize your strength. Of course, I will be limiting my strength to 2-Star Martial Saint. From what I can see, I might need to even increase my strength to 3-Star Martial Saint in order to fight you." Choong Duy scratched his head, embarrassed. To think he would feel he needed to have a stronger cultivation base just to fight a junior, everyone would laugh at him.

However, Alex felt nothing about it. Due to the constant fight with stronger opponents, Alex grew numb to this kind of thing.

Chavel suddenly returned to the table and sat down, looking at Alex with a gentle expression. "I will be your opponent this time."

"Eh?" Choong Duy and Alex widened their eyes at the same time.

"What? You don't want to fight against a woman?" She narrowed her eyes.

"No. I never have a problem in that case. I only feel that your husband will be angry because of that." Alex denied it almost immediately. Even if the person in front of him were a peerless beauty, he would cut her down, just like Shelka and other girls back in the days.

On the other hand, Choong Duy closed his eyes with agony in his face.

"How many years have we lived together? Are you going to stop me now?" Chavel glared at him and released her killing intent.

"No… I am just wondering why you would want to fight him? Is there any reason?"

"He knows the technique from my family. Hence, I am going to teach him how to fight with his own power. This technique can only be known by the royal family… So, whoever created the technique you have right now, must not know about this technique. You can consider this technique as my payment.

"After all, if you can beat me, it's the time we depart from this world and go to the cycle of reincarnation." Chavel nodded.

Alex pondered for a moment and agreed. "There is no way I will let a chance like this go, though I am mainly fighting with my weapons and doubt I will use this technique."

"Don't worry. Even though the technique is low level, I have strengthened it, and you can also use it with your sword or spear since I am using it with my spear. This technique is called Swallowing Heaven. I will use the technique later, but it can be considered as a peak Heaven Tier Technique.

"Of course, the true technique is a Divine Technique. Unfortunately, you need Divine Power if you want to use it at Divine Technique level." Chavel explained her technique carefully.

"I understand." Alex nodded. "Are there any conditions in the fight?"

"As long as we are alive and well, there is no rule. Just use your strongest power, and I will respond the same." Chavel pondered for a moment. "How about I tell you a secret if you can make me release my 3-Star Martial Saint Strength?"

"Hmm?" Alex tilted his head and asked, "What kind of secret?"

"A secret of your enemy. Just tell me your enemy, and I can tell you their secret. Or I can even tell the Ancient Blue Family to help you in this fight." She smirked.

Alex thought for a moment and said, "I have two enemies. Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain. What kind of secret can I expect?"

"How to control the Fire God Clan or the secret of Snow White Mountain's founder… I can give you that secret."

"If you are telling me about the anger of the Fire God Clan or the fact that the Snow White Mountain's founder wants to reincarnate… I already know it." Alex sighed.

"Eh?!" Chavel widened her eyes as she blinked a few times. "So, you already know…"

"Yeah. Although I don't know the specific reason for the Fire God Clan, from my observation, they should have a cultivation technique that influences their anger. It's like the flame itself is related to their anger.

"As for the Snow White Mountain… I have a Pure Ice Element friend. However, she is captured right now. Luckily, they have yet to know about my relationship with her, so she is still fine. Her Sacrificial Element has been transferred to another person though, and it's most likely to make their founder possess that body instead of my friend."

Chavel sighed. "You have truly known everything. I don't have anything I can give you, so I will just fight you to the best of my ability."

Alex nodded.

"Before that, I will create an array to store our soul and energy along with the technique to control the array. Wifey, can you send a letter about what we want to do and the secret of this place? Just say that they can use this place as a training place since I have created a rank 9 Gathering Array here. Don't forget about the other messages that I want to pass." Choong Duy rose from his seat and glanced at Chavel.

"Sure." Chavel also rose from her seat and said to Alex. "Please wait a minute."

Alex nodded and waited for a few minutes before Chavel returned.

"Let's talk first since my husband is still doing his business. I am wondering what kind of person is leading the Dragon Race right now?"

"I don't know him well since I am mainly staying with the Phoenixes." Alex shook his head. "However, I believe he is a good guy, brave, and powerful. His son is filled with strength while his daughter has wisdom on par with him. I believe they will be quite a pair to lead your race."

"That's good then." Chavel smiled from ear to ear. She had been away for ten thousand years, so she was worried about her. Unfortunately, she couldn't return due to her body, and when she learned about the devastating news that her realm experienced, she was weakened for a few years.

Luckily, Choong Duy was there with her, accompanying her to pass that hard time. When she learned that the world had chosen to separate themselves from the Northern Continent, she finally felt relieved. At that time, she wanted to thank the Supreme for liberating the anguish of that world.

"How about the Phoenix Race and the other races? I would like to know them as well."

"The previous phoenix queen is with me right now, leaving her daughter in charge of the kingdom. Well, it's only been a few years, and I should be able to go to that world again in the future. Hence, everything is fine…" Alex started explaining about the other races' conditions.

Chavel kept smiling this whole time, feeling nostalgic.

Alex observed her expression this whole time and knew that she still loved her world so much. Unfortunately, she didn't have the power to go there. In the end, Alex was curious about one thing. "Were you frustrated by the result that you couldn't attain the throne back then?"

Chavel looked up and contemplated for a minute. "I felt frustrated back then, but I never hated them. I loved them, and I still love them right now. Even though the six races often fight with each other, they are just protecting their root, and I can understand that.

"Even I will kill Gods and Goddesses that dares to destroy my place no matter the consequences." There wasn't a single trace of doubt in her eyes, expressing her genuine feeling.

"I see." Alex nodded. He could relate to that feeling since he would do the same.

"Alright. Everything is ready. You should go around the tree first and absorb all the Spiritual Energy with that token. Meanwhile, Chavel and I will find a place to fight you. Unlike the others in the past, I believe this will be a big fight, so we need to prepare it. Will that be fine with you?" Choong Duy asked with a smile.

"I understand." Alex nodded and followed them outside before all of them focused on their respective task.

He flew around the area with his Spirit Eyes and token, looking and absorbing the Spiritual Energy around him until not a single chunk of mist could be seen.

Alex had sucked it dry. The only thing he needed to do was to come out of this place and bring back the token with him.

After finishing his task, he flew toward Choong Duy and Chavel. Choong Duy seemed to have modified a plain ground with some walls to prevent shockwaves from destroying this place. He even made an array to do that.

Chavel didn't have any objection because of the same feeling. The field they had cultivated for a few thousand years contained their memory, so even if they were to reincarnate, they hoped to see this place still as it is.

Alex could understand that and landed on the ground gently before looking at Chavel. Unlike the previous one, she had changed her clothes. Her tight green shirt and long pants had replaced her previous loose and comfortable clothes. She tied her hair into a ponytail and carried her spear with her right hand.

The spear seemed to be a rank 8 weapon as well, but it wasn't special like Alex's Spiritual Weapon. Her gentle atmosphere had changed to a fierce and full of fighting spirit as she looked at Alex with an energetic smile.

"I won't hold back."

"I am the same." Alex nodded before taking out his weapons.

"The rule is simple. No killing or doing any irreplaceable damage. Although we are only souls, we can injure or get injured and die in the process. Hence, make sure you pull out in the last blow. The arena should be enough for you, so you can fight to the best of your ability."

"Wait a minute. I have a condition." Alex looked at Choong Duy.

"Sure. What is your condition?"

"I am going to fight with my full power. But can I expect you guys to keep it secret? Knowing that you are going to follow me to the outside world, though it's only for a moment, I am still worried. I have too many bad memories with this type of thing."

Choong Duy and Chavel nodded their hearts.

"I, Choong Duy (Chavel), swear with my name and my wife's name to not say anything that happens inside. If I disclose even a little bit of clue to the people outside, may I get separated with my husband (wife) for eternity and have no chance to reunite, and may we get reduced to nothing and never reincarnate. Heaven and Earth! Please bear the witness of this oath!" Both of them swore at the same time.

Alex never expected them to promise like that, but he knew how they trusted him in this matter. Alex took a deep breath and released his Spiritual Energy.

Chavel also did the same and pointed her spear at Alex.

After checking the two, Choong Duy shouted. "Start!"
